The Project
We are seeking a motivated student worker to lead an employer outreach initiative highlighting UNC Charlotte’s partnership with select corporate organizations. The project focuses on gathering story leads focusing on how companies recruit students from our university and leverage tuition benefits to reskill their current workforce.
Scope of Work:
The Alumni Outreach & Sourcing Assistant will be assigned a designated portfolio of corporate employers alongside active alumni contacts within each organization. Utilizing these alumni relationships as initial points of entry, the student will navigate internal corporate networks to identify key decision-makers across Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, and Workforce Development who are open to being featured in our publication series. To ensure prospective interviewees align with the project’s goals, the Alumni Outreach & Sourcing Assistant will develop company-specific evaluation questions to screen and qualify leads, confirming their active participation in university student recruitment or tuition-benefit reskilling before handing off verified contacts to the communications team.
Learning Experience
As a result of completing this project, the Alumni Outreach & Sourcing Assistant will:
1. Increase their professional network through direct interaction with university alumni and corporate leaders in Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, and Workforce Development.
2. Demonstrate their skills in project management, business development, and qualitative research.
3. Practice professional outreach, relationship building, and navigating through partner companies.
4. Work with, and receive mentoring support from, professional staff in Digital & Professional Learning.
Outcomes
For each assigned company, the Alumni Outreach & Sourcing Assistant will deliver:
1. A structured list of screening questions tailored to the company’s background and role in student hiring or tuition-benefit use.
2. At least one verified, interested corporate contact (with contact info, job title, and brief background) who has formally agreed to be interviewed.
3. A organized document containing contact details, background notes, and specific talking points to be handed off to our Communications Team for interviewing and article drafting.
